%X Bioinformatic tools is widely used to manage the enormous genomic and proteomic data involving DNA/protein sequences management, drug designing, homology modelling, motif/domain prediction ,docking, annotation and dynamic simulation etc. Bioinformatics offers a wide range of applications in numerous disciplines such as genomics. Proteomics, comparative genomics, nutrigenomics, microbial genome, biodefense, forensics etc. Thus it offers promising future to accelerate scientific research in biotechnology DOI 10.14302/issn.2576-6694.jbbs-18-2173 Bioinformatics provided computational ways for data analysis by employing informatics tools and softwares to determine protein/gene structure or sequence, homology, molecular modeling of biological system, molecular docking etc to analyze and interpret data in insilico 1.Currently bioinformatics have become a principal technology in all life sciences research. Bioinformatics has been integrated into a number of different disciplines where it assists in better understanding of the data in a shorter time frame 2. With the massive advancement in information technology, bioinformatics is growing rapidly providing new ways and approaches for the assessment of valuable data 3.Data mining and manipulations is an important aspect of bioinformatic 4. It allows researchers to collect, store, catalogue and analyse information in unique format that is easily manipulated for future research 5. Some examples of data manipulation include molecular online tools and the bio extract server 6. It is useful for accessing bimolecular data from many sources for many purposes. This is lab template for the proper accession and usage of online molecular tools like bio extract 7. Some applications of bioinformatics in biotechnology is given below: Genomics To manage an escalating amount of genomic information, bioinformatic tools are required to maintain and analyze the DNA sequences from different organism 8. Determination of sequence homology, gene finding, coding region identification, structural and functional analyses of genomic sequences etc, all this is possible by the use of different bioinformatics tools and software packages 9. Given below is a list of few bioinformatics tools used in genomics Table 1. Table 1. Bioinformatics tools/databases used in Genomics Bioinformatics tools Purpose Carrie Transcriptional regulatory networks database 10 CisML Motif detection tool 11 ICSF Identification of conserved structural features in TF binding sites 12 Possum Tool for motif searching 13 Promoser Promoter extraction tool from eukaryotic
